Answer:

Diffusion is the passage of molecules from a high-concentration region of the molecule to a lower-concentration area of the molecule.

Facilitated diffusion is the passage of a molecule with the assistance of a protein channel or carrier from a region of high concentration to an area of lower concentration.

Hope this helps!
